May sound hypocritical and it may be. I just don't want to screw up and do something stupid. If I taught in a different location I might have my carry weapon in my file box or somewhere but I still wouldn't wear it.
In our instructors class the officiers didn't wear their sidearms for this reason (they were asked). Sound judgement in my eyes.
I do find myself obeying all the same rules of safety. I have even been known to drop the mag and "clear" the chamber on the airsoft gun without thinking about it until I realize I can't see inside of the fake plastic, painted on "chamber". I feel kind of silly but then again I don't. I couldn't even shoot the gun if I wanted to. My son moved out of the house a couple of years ago and took all the pellets with him.
